My coils packs are on the way out and looking to buy some. Just wondering what people think, should i get spit fires or original OEM coil packs.

Also has anyone used a brand called yellow jackets. I believe they sell the cheapest aftermarket coil packs at the moment i think.

Please give me your opinion on these coil packs if you have used them.

Or'

Any other brand coil packs and where to get them cheap. I dont use the car on the race track i drive it as a daily so only a hammer here and there.

Also I am still a student so i am i trying to budget my part time job with maintenance on the car its, hard.

Don't mean to be rude to anyone just don't give me the comment PLEASE

"A cheap show off with nice car"

Had someone say that to me in my face before and I punch him out.

So sorry if i am being rude or offend anyone.

ive got the yellow jackets. been in my car for quite a few months now. no problem at all. running 13-14 psi with a 1mm gap. they worked fine on the 1.1mm gap before my last plug change too.

a lot of people are using these, and i've only heard good feedback on them.

+1 for splitfires

Yellow jackets are probably good but really depends

havent been out long enough to know they last, but then again they havent been out long enough to prove they arent better then others

you can get proven results with splitfires, or get the yellow jackets and be unsure how long they will last.

Also got splitfires not too long ago, no dramas at all. If your after some cheap replacements ive still got my stock set, nothing wrong with them. I changed them thinking mine were stuffed but it was my ECU.

I bought a fresh set of Yellow Jackets about a month ago for my RB25DET Neo and they're going great. Very quick delivery too. For long term performance ask me again in a year's time :)

I reckon a new set of pretty much any coils should be fine. Whatever you do don't buy any second hand OEMs, the only place they should go in is the bin...

A che... lol j/k!

Uhm, i've only heard good things about the yellow jackets and with split fires...well i think everyone knows they're one of the best.

I myself am running the JJR ones but i do know a few people on this 'ere forum have had issues with JJR ones before but justjap have pretty good customer service and will look after you. I only got jjr ones because i got them REALLY cheap. For me, they are performing great - certainly much better than the old set which was a nice set of FETs but getting really old and breaking down.

stock coil packs are the best you can get, as long as you can get them new

the only reason they are mainly no good is because they are to old and have worn out due to heat in the engine bay

absoloutly nothing wrong with good condition stock coils. But there expensive as hell to buy brand new

I had nothing but trouble with various series 2 coilpacks and blowout so I upgraded to LS2 coilpacks. Much better ignition for about the same price.

Yeah the whole coil pack setup is definitely a weak link of the RB design. In the past 6 months I've been tearing out coil packs (and my hair) from my NEO like there's no tomorrow. In 4+ years with the LS1 I never even knew it had coil packs :blink:

  • 2 weeks later...

Been using a set of Yellow Jackets on both my RB20 set up and RB25 set up for about a year now...

They have been good at 2bar and 300rwkw with a 0.7mm gap on the RB20

They started to break down at 0.8mm with 1.6bar running in the RB25, now gapped at 0.6mm and are fine for 385rwkw

Apparently the Nissan ones are very cheap shipped from the USA but if you can't find them Yellow Jackets so far so good :)

    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
